Harp and Clarinet Concert

with Susan Ottzen

September 7th (2018)

A message from Susan - "As a sangha member I have searched for ways to help us to begin to heal from the crisis we are in. I got this idea to provide a concert of beautiful music as a way to start the healing. We are playing Debussy, Ravel, J.S. Bach, Django Reinhardt, Cantina Band Song from Star Wars. We will put out a love offering basket. We are playing this concert again on Sunday Sept 9 at the Sautee Nagoochee Center in north Georgia."
